A convicted rapist will stay at a Boulder homeless shelter after failed attempts to move him to two other Colorado towns following his release from prison.

The Daily Camera reports that police say 42-year-old Christopher Lawyer has secured a parole bed at the Boulder Shelter for the Homeless. Officers are still working to determine how long Lawyer will stay there.

Lawyer had initially petitioned to live in Jamestown upon his release from prison late last month. But the Colorado Department of Corrections rejected the move amid strong opposition from Jamestown residents, the Camera reports.
